Marco Island Woman’s Club Kicks Off 55th Year

On October 6, 2021, Debbie Rago, President of the Marco Island Woman’s Club, welcomed members to the Club’s first lunch meeting of its 55th anniversary year. The club has come a long way since it was chartered in 1966 by a group of 16 friends to support the Island’s people and local non-profit organizations.

The club is excited to announce that the Coastal Breeze will publish a three-part series on their most recognized contributions to the Island along with the history behind each. Part One, “From Tragedy to Renewal” tells how the Woman’s Club came to have a garden in the Marco Island Cemetery and is quite a story! Look for it in this issue. Part Two, “The Birth of the Marco Island Youth Center” will be published on October 14 and Part Three, “Founding the Marco Island Library” on October 21.

The Woman’s Club holds monthly lunch meetings at the Marco Island Yacht Club on the first Wednesday of the month, October thru May. We invite you to attend a lunch meeting as a paid guest ($45) to learn more about us in person. Contact our Membership Chair, Caitlin Robinson Carlson, to attend a meeting or get membership information. Email or call Caitlin at MIWCEL@gmail.com or 239-692-5619.
